5 Carat Old Euro SI2 Diamonds

SI2 inclusions are likely visible to the naked eye at 5 carats. The large face-up area of a 5 carat old European cut makes it harder to hide inclusions, so careful inspection is essential. Look for stones where the inclusions are light in color or positioned near the edges.

SI2 is best for buyers who prioritize size and budget, and who are willing to hand-select a stone with well-placed inclusions. The old European cut's broad facets can soften the appearance of some inclusions, but at 5 carats, not all SI2 stones will face up clean.
